Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I've enjoyed Great Wall for a couple years as an average place, but they're under new ownership and now I'm happy to come here more and more. The staff is so pleasant, and that can surely make or break a nice meal. Beautiful presentation, great service, and the food did not disappoint. There is a "light fare" section on the menu for healthier options i.e. low oil, no MSG. BYOB so stop at the greatest liquor store in the North Hills a couple stores down in the same plaza to complete your dining experience.

The quality of the food has severely dropped over the years as it was once my favorite restaurant. They have a new name and ownership and I was hoping that would help fix things up. Maybe get a new supplier for your food or something but that never happened. It's the same food with a different name at this point. They changed the hot and sour soup that was amazing and now it is almost uneatable. I know the great wall could become a great spot once again however it might take some serious thinking and a game plan!

I ate here this past weekend for lunch with a dining companion. I have been here many times in the past and it is always one of my favorite sit down Chinese restaurants to eat at. Upon entering the restaurant it has quite a distinctive Chinese feel with many different pieces of art that Americans would associate with China. After being seated in a booth, our server came over almost immediately with a pot of hot tea and fried crispy strips with both spicy mustard and sweet and sour dipping sauces. I always love getting them so that I have a little something to munch on while waiting for my meal. For my entree I ended up ordering the Szechuan beef extra spicy with both fried rice and hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup tasted decent with the expected bit of sourness. Whenever the server brought my entree, he also brought out some extra hot sauce for me in case the extra spicy was not hot enough. It was a nice little touch and I would end up using some of it. The beef ended having quite a bit of spice and was plated with a random assortment of vegetables. It all tasted good and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal as did my dining companion. The best part of it was that each meal was under $7. I will definitely be coming back here again in the future. The food is always a great value for the prices and they never seem to disappoint me.

If Cheers was a Chinese restaurant instead of a bar, it would be the Great Wall. Barry (the owner) and his staff go out of their way to make you feel at home each and every time you come in. My family has been going here for years, and our regular waiter, Leo, doesn't even have to give us menus anymore, just starts bringing out our dishes as soon as we sit down! First things first, make sure you start with a wonton soup and shrimp egg roll. This is hands-down the best wonton soup in the city. It's just salty enough, hot, and filled with yummy wontons. Since the green onion scare in Pittsburgh several years ago, Barry no longer has his chefs put green onions in automatically, but you can ask for a little side dish of them (which I recommend - really adds to the flavor). The egg rolls are huge, crispy, and full of big pieces of shrimp. Along with your appetizers, you get a bowl of crispy noodles with duck and hot mustard sauce for dipping (although if you don't like the hot mustard, Leo will bring you a double order of duck sauce instead). Oh, and you get all the hot tea you can drink, thrown in for free. In terms of entrees, I have sampled only about three of the options here because.... they're amazing. Super amazing. So why change, right? We used to get moo goo gai pan consistently until we met the amazing chicken. (Amazing chicken is General Tso's, but using only white meat chicken.) The moo goo gai pan is awesome though, lots of water chestnuts and snap peas thrown into the mix. And it's delicious cold the next day as a leftover. The amazing chicken is so perfectly breaded, just crispy and sweet enough, but not too heavy. And the Mongolian beef.... oh my. Oh my my my. You can ask to have it made 'extra sweet', and I recommend that. It's so juicy and seasoned with sweet sauce and onions. (I am about five minutes away from just deciding to go here for lunch, now that I'm writing about this place.) Oh, and even though you're going to *want* to eat everything in a single sitting, the plates are so huge that you probably won't be able to. And that's good, because everything at the Great Wall makes a terrific leftover. I've been coming to this restaurant for more than 20 years, and as long as they're around, I'm going to keep coming back. Don't be afraid to drive out into the suburbs for this one - it will be well worth it!

I ordered from Great Wall today after getting a menu in the mail. I went to pick it up and proceeded to eat. When I got to my main dishes I found the the chicken was raw throughout both. I refused to eat it, of course, and called to let them know. When I talked to them the woman kept telling me that was impossible. I kept telling her that I didn't care about her opinion that she gave me raw food and I wanted my money back. Then she switched her tactic. She then said she needed a reason. I told her it was due to raw chicken. She refused again and again, saying it was impossible and I wouldn't get my money back, I am never EVER eating at or from this place again.

Sadly, under new ownership and the food isn't nearly as good. Will search the North Hills for a new Chinese restaurant.

Average food for vegetarians. Had to fix it up when I came home. They won't deliver either.

Ate here with a friend last week, and was extremely pleased. I agree with Jenn T. The staff here was very pleasant. They automatically start you off with hot tea, which is wonderful. Unlike many places which serve regular (like Lipton) tea, or green tea, these guys served us black tea, which was very nice. We actually wanted to take some of it home! The prices were appropriate for dinner, but the servings were much large than expected. When you find a good chinese restaurant, there's nothing wrong with having some left over to take home! I started out with wonton soup (which is a must for me!) and it definitely made my top 2 list of best wonton soup I've ever had. I'm actually not a fan of the green onions, and typically eat around them, but this wonton didn't have it "standard" which I thought was great. I then ordered the chicken and brocoli, which was ready as soon as I had finished my soup. The bottom line: The service was great and prompt, the price was right, the portions were huge, and the food was tasty! I'm upset that I don't get to the City more often, just so I could frequent this place.

Food is great, service is another story. I was told I could not make any requests with the food. I AMA vegetarian and asked to have tofu instead of chicken on a meal, I then wAs told I could choose from 2 tofu selections, the one I got was delicious. However we were the only ones here, and u think one would be accommodating ? Try sesame inn or empire palace instead.

The atmosphere and service was great. The food was a different story. I had their lo mein and it was heavy on the garlic and pretty oily. My wife had the kung pao shrimp and the shrimp were small and it was heavy on celery, pretty low on shrimp. All in all we were disappointed in the food. The hot and sour soup was the lone bright spot for me. It was tasty with lots of nice heat to it.

This is a great place to go for Chinese food. We usually get take out which is always ready in 20 minutes. It is always packed well and hot. We did dine in and it was fantastic. They seat you right away and the service is great. They start you off with some great tea and a little appetizer. They have generous helpings of food and it is always hot. They will wrap your food for you to take home your leftovers. They have great general t'so, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls. The restaurant is decorated with pictures of the Great Wall and some other crazy pictures. It is mainly done in the color of red. They also take the entertainment card for buy one get one. Great place for Chinese dine in or take out.

This place used to be a great Chinese restaurant. They have some great recipes like Hot Braised Chicken and Hot Braised Pork. The problem is the food tastes STALE.................not fresh, like it's been sitting in the refrigerator for a week. They would be doing all of their customers a huge favor if they got back to basics and put an emphasis on serving FRESH chicken, pork, shrimp, and vegetables.
